This year we’re proud to celebrate the platinum anniversary of Nottingham Playhouse. For 70 years, our charity has been making world-class theatre in Nottingham, enthralling audiences and inspiring people from the local community to explore their creativity.

To celebrate, we’re hosting a special Gala performance of The Madness of George III. The evening will also include a drinks and canapé reception in the company of famous faces and an auction to raise funds to support the work we do in the theatre and beyond. Prizes up for auction so far include;

• Afternoon tea at Hart’s Nottingham with Mark Gatiss, Adrian Scarborough and Debra Gillett.
• A walk-on role in this year’s Nottingham Playhouse pantomime including 4 tickets to watch.

Your support will help propel our creative and charitable work so we can continue to inspire and involve audiences and theatre practitioners of all ages for another 70 years.
